INDIA CAN GO TO WAR WITH CHINA says Vice Chief of Army General Philip

​

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China,Vice Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Philip Campose gave a shocking statement that there is a likelihood of war between China and India .

While inaugurating a seminar, 'Make in India Made Easy:Opportunities and Challenges in Defence Sector', at the Army
Institute of Management Technology, Lt General Campose said "Economically and militarily, India and China are moving to the world's most influential nations and there is much likelihood of both countries to enter into a war in this decade."

Philip emphasized the need for a synergised approach by all stakeholders to ensure success of the 'Make In India' initiative in the defence sector and said India's 60 per cent defence procurement requirements are met by imports.

Moreover the effect of China's influence in Asia can be judged along their shared 4,057-km border, most notably over Arunachal Pradesh (which Beijing asserts is part of Tibet and therefore of China), and over the Aksai Chin region at the western end of the Tibetan Plateau

Lt General Campose said " India is facing threat from China and the terror groups like Islamic State, Talibans and Al Qaeda from neighbouring country Pakistan ."
